Demand for Key2 Accelerates Due to CV Show Success

Jaama, the UK’s leading fleet industry asset management software system provider, is to further increase its supply of Key2 into the commercial vehicle sector following business success at the recent Commercial Vehicle Show.
 
Jaama exhibited its multi award-winning web-based vehicle, driver and workshop management solution Key2 at the Show in April.
